Information About

Broad Fourteens




The Broad Fourteens is an area of the southern North Sea that is fairly consistently fourteen Fathom s (26 meters) deep (thus, on a nautical map showing depth, a broad area with many "14" notations). It is located off the coast of the Netherlands and south of the Dogger Bank , roughly between longitude 3°E and 4°30′E and latitude 52°30′N and 53°30′N. Compare to the Long Forties .

During World War I , ''U-9'' singlehandedly sank the three Cruiser s of the " Live Bait Squadron " there.
